Ingredients

Instructions

  • Preheat oven to 325 degrees. Line a large-rimmed baking sheet with aluminum foil and spray with non-stick cooking spray.
  • Cover the prepared pan with saltine crackers, salt side up and touching.
  • In a medium saucepan over medium-low heat, combine butter and brown sugar. Stir until the butter has melted. Once the butter has melted, Increase the heat and bring the mixture to a boil for 3 minutes, stirring constantly.
